OUR WATER SUPPLY.

The discovery of the foul condi
ton of the water pipes yesterday
has reused a feeling everywhere
that there must be an improvement
in the water supply of Carson. The
company Is bound to furnish water
free from impurities, and water i'm
pregnated with the remnants of
dead fish does not fulfill these con-
ditions. Besides the inconvenience
of having pipes clogged ard the ex-
pense of repair. there is a danger
to public health of the gravest pos
sible character.
The Water Company is composed
Of men, business men who fully rec
ognixe these facts.
Some time ago the APPEAL sug-
gested the artesian we'll system.
and the writer was informed yester-
day that it was the intention of the
company to sink a number of wells
West Of the city aud furnish sup
ply Of the purest water.
The artesian wells sunk by Sen
ator Stewart and Trenmor Coffin
have been flowing ever since at the
rate of nearly 10000 gallons day,
and the water Is absolutely pure,
A dozen such wells sunk 0y the
Water Company on, say an acre or
two Of ground, would supply Carson
with pure and cold drinking water,
which would maintain a uniform
temperature at all seasons. The
question is one of the greatest pos
sible importance and the remedy
should be applied at once.

One of the most earnest and consls-
tent Irishmen and thorough working
aen, withal, of Faribaolt is VIM. St.
John. TIE IRISH STANDARD does not
state this in praise, but in fact-just as
we found him.
Ed. Morgan, one OF the faithful toilers
of Faribault, is painter by trade, and
one who deserves all the patronage his
home can bestow. He makes speciality
of house and sign painting; and when
called upon in an ornamental way, he is
rot lacking in taste Oh judgment.
The Free Reading Room instituted by
the working men of Faribault, is credit
indeed to that city, for all of which the
toilers are deserving of praise. The
rooms are open from 10 a. m. until
late heur at night, and they are well
patronized not only by the working
men but by the public in general. An
excellent and choice selection of news
papers and magazines can always be
found on the different tables or on file
for general reading. Many of the wealthy
citizens have shown most commend
able spirit by their support and encour-
agement Of this institution, at present
in charge Of F. Lockwood, Alderman OF
the First ward. The workingmen OF
Faribault are thoroughly organized, not
for evil but for the good that they can
accomplish for themselves and for the
better condition of mankind in general.
